Don’t Talk Like

don't talk like
like you're nineteen
you're thirty-five
if you're a day
don't act like
like you're nineteen
everyone is waiting

haven't I done enough this time
haven't I done enough today

don't, stop it she said
don't say that
a part of me is dead
dropped just like a
fallen limb
what you've left behind

there's a part of me
that works just like a child
there's a part of me
that's you
